Do you need cyber insurance?
Think of IT Insurance as your safety net. Ideally, you should have solid IT and cybersecurity protections to ward off breaches and prevent a ransomware attack. However, no method guarantees absolute security. Insurance steps in when all else fails, cushioning the blow of a successful cyber-attack on your operations.
Consider these statistics:
• 76% of SMBs were impacted by at least one cybersecurity attack in 2022, a significant rise from 55% in 2020.
• 43% of cyber-attacks target small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
• Nearly 40% of small businesses report data loss due to a cyberattack, leading to substantial disruption and financial loss.
• Of small businesses, 37% suffer financial loss, 25% file for bankruptcy, and over 9.7% go out of business.
• 83% of SMBs are unprepared to recover from the financial damages of a cyber attack.
• Over 89% of businesses with insurance state it covered their losses—and 87% were pleased they had it.

So how do you Protect your business?
